Isn't the tourism "mascot" for WY a cowboy? Kinda screams Western state to me.

Link to the poll? I wonder if the sample size was kinda small.

There are people in TN and AR that think they're Midwestern?

"Y'all" talk too funny for that, now.

French: 80 is four twenties ("Quatre-vingt")

Edit: not four tens, four twenties. I can't count in any language, dammit!

While I'm not liking your phrase "bad regional accents" I do think you have a point. There are many, many different English accents and to attempt to capture that in the orthography is too much hassle and detail. The "dictionary pronunciation" is really more of a proto pronunciation than actual dialect-ized speech. It is a generalization and standardization and to an extent "the correct" way to say something Which is prescriptive, ugly and discriminatory and quite likely also racist. But there really is a need to simplify and standardize instead of capturing every tiny nuance of all dialects.

In my mind the best way to do this is just pick what you believe to be the most standard English accent and use that. Acknowledge that there are countless dialects. But this is the standard.

Yes. A woman will buy him a holster for his gun.

Both Glocks and cocks need a holster.

I do similar with the screw on the cover plate for my light switch in my bedroom. I swipe it to discharge the static electricity.

Counseling can be done on a phone. I would suggest this over advice from internet randos.

I don't have a recipie. I just know what I like after making it so many times.

The carne is steak. Sold as stew meat. Awesome because it takes on the spices and softens up very nicely in a crock pot (slow cooker).

Beans: kidney, great northern, black, garbonzo, and lima. More kidney than the others.

Many different spices but primarily chili powder, fresh minced habenero, ground black pepper, Valentina Extra Spicy and lime juice.

Fresh mushrooms and onions.

Top with sour cream and/or shredded extra shap cheddar. Cornbread optional.

This doesn't really do it justice, just a rough guide. And I don't think I've made it exactly the same twice.

Here in the Midwest, chili has beans in it. Usually and mostly kidney beans. You can even buy chili beans in a can which is kidney beans plus chili powder.

I know some places like Texas do not put beans in chili. Which is interesting to me but I have never had an opportunity to try it.

Your chili is beanless? Where are you?

No.

Interesting ideas tho.

Op's link opens for me but I don't see any option there to join. Am I sol as a kbinner?

I just ate grilled swordfish with a white hot sauce.

Make the sauce by adding minced habeneros to sandwich pal horseradish sauce. Adds a nose hit to the hit of the spicy pepper.
